BIO / CRISTINA ANDRADE

Chicago raised and creatively wired, I’m a Latina, first-gen photographer, videographer, and creative intuitive who builds brands through story, rhythm, and emotion first precision visuals. Over 10 years of experience—born and raised in Chicago’s underground music scene, where culture isn’t a trend, it’s the source.

My work lives at the intersection of culture and strategy—capturing events, familiar ceremonies first. Secondly producing social-first campaigns, developing visual identities, and editing content with intention (not trends-for-trends’ sake). I’ve supported local businesses, creatives, and teams by creating consistent, high-quality content systems—so marketing stops feeling like stress and starts feeling like momentum.

Rooted in community and driven by impact, I bring a real passion for philanthropy and projects that give back. If you’re building something real, I’m the one who helps it look real..
